Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy with April Hadley, LLMSW

Mindfulness-based psychotherapy is an experiential method of therapy that incorporates mindfulness, mind-body integration, and a deep respect for the sanctity of your individual experience. Therapy that has mindfulness as its foundation is primarily a verbal dialogue process, but the focus is on present moment experience, not intellectual analysis. The purpose of this approach to healing and personal growth is to illuminate the unconscious patterns in your life, and to help you live and make choices more consciously. Therapy sessions meet for 60-minutes.

April has her Masters of Social Work from Grand Valley State University and has also completed an 18-month training program in Hakomi Therapy which is a form of mindfulness-based psychotherapy.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction is adaptable to an individual or couples format. These sessions are made available for people who are unable to attend the group sessions due to scheduling conflicts or if a one-on-one format is recommended by a health care professional. The private sessions are offered in a series of 4 or 8 weekly, 90-minute meetings.

However, we strongly encourage participation in the group format for several reasons. Learning how to practice mindfulness with a group provides energy and support as you learn a new skill. It is also very helpful to be able to share your own experiences as well as hear the experiences of your classmates as you learn how to integrate the practice of mindfulness into your daily life. Finally, it is helpful to understand that stress is a common condition that all of us experience. With this knowledge, we can begin to feel less alone and more a part of the human community.
